This study evaluates the carbon and water implications of revalorising glucosinolates from broccoli by-products through two distinct life-cycle scenarios in a case study conducted in Navarra, Spain. In the first scenario, glucosinolates are obtained from conventional broccoli production, where they are naturally present in the edible inflorescences. The second scenario introduces an innovative step: extracting glucosinolates from otherwise discarded broccoli by-products, such as stalks and inflorescence detachments. Carbon and water footprints were analysed for both scenarios based on the production of 1000 grams of glucosinolates. The results reveal that while the second scenario enhances resource efficiency by utilizing agricultural waste, the environmental costs of the extraction process outweigh the benefits, leading to a 37.6 % increase in greenhouse gas emissions and a 4.6 % rise in water usage compared to the first scenario. To address this, an improvement scenario is proposed, featuring a more efficient use of solvents during extraction, which significantly reduces both emissions and water use. This study underscores that circular economy strategies in agro-food systems do not always translate into environmental benefits accross all resources.

Additionally, this study examines the effect on biodiversity loss and soil-based ecosystem services to provide a comprehensive environmental analysis. Six scenarios were analysed. Agricultural activities—particularly excessive fertiliser use (up to 77.10 kg N·ha⁻¹) and diesel consumption during harvesting (up to 7761 kg·ha⁻¹)—emerged as the primary contributors to environmental burdens. Scenarios utilising by-products, such as vegetation water, showed lower impacts in categories like global warming terrestrial and freshwater eutrophication. Biodiversity loss, quantified using the Potentially Disappeared Fraction, was mainly driven by land transformation rather than land use, with scenario A1 showing the highest impact (around 3.25·10<sup>−11</sup> PDF*year). Regarding soil-based ecosystem services, all scenarios exhibited similar performance in soil erosion control (55.33 t soil), with minor variations in carbon sequestration (4.82–5.40 t C·ha⁻¹) due to differences in biomass pruning. Water purification potential varied significantly, with N losses ranging from 1.01 to 131.46 kg N, depending on the fertilisation regime. These results highlight the urgent need for sustainable agricultural practices and circular economy strategies to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance ecosystem services.

The physicochemical properties of the two kinds of pectin and the commercial apple pectin (CAP) were characterized by analyzing their GalA content, degree of esterification (DE), crystallinity, thermal properties, functional groups, color, rheological and morphological characteristics.

Nendran banana (<em>Musa paradisiaca</em>) flour is a complementary food introduced to children during the weaning phase.

In this regard, the present study deals with the optimal bioprocessing conditions for Nendran banana flour via controlled fermentation with probiotic strain <em>Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG 347</em> for varying time duration from 0 to 72 h to develop a weaning mix with postbiotic benefits.

Minerals including sodium, potassium, and magnesium found to be increased over the fermentation period. The in vitro protein digestibility was enhanced during fermentation from 31.06 ± 2.62–70.23 ± 3.47 %, while the percentage of starch hydrolysis also improved from 21 % to 73 %, rendering the complex starches in the raw Nendran flour into more easily digestible fractions.
